I have just been given a team of 10 (10yo girls) to manage. As a parent who has not played for a number of years, can you point me in the right direction on this site for position selection for the game. It is an 8 week summer comp and the girls are happy to have a go at all the positions. They play a winter comp and have a proper coach. I have been asked to help as she is not available for this comp
as long a you are happy to not be competitive then I would break the team up into defence (GK GD OFF), mid court (WA WD C OFF) and attack (GA GS OFF). no it isn`t a fair system as each week 2 girls will sit off for half a game at each end while every one else will only sit off for a quarter. The other option is to sit on person out the entire game each week and then everyone else sits off for 1 quarter each game. I would still break the group into defence, attack and mid court players, to keep a more consistent team. I have used both of these rotations and they both have advantages and disadvantages. Work out which one is best for your team. Good Luck with your season.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
